re: Does a 3 loss Ohio State make the playoffs? Because their schedule is brutal.

Alabama also lost the SEC championship game, which the committee probably didn’t count.

LSU has a tougher schedule by far

Do you really think Iowa, usc, Oregon and Indiana are tough?
Oregon lost to Okie light and barely beat Boise
Indiana won at home by 2 vs NW and has played all scrubs
Iowa is always overrated
USC…. That’s a joke, right?

A 3-loss team is going to need help from other potentially deserving teams losing extra games. Even then, only a handful of teams will get the benefit of the doubt to still get in.

The committee will put in a 3-loss UGA, Bama, Ohio State, Texas. They are not putting in a 3-loss Iowa, Texas Tech, or Miami.

Alabama got in last year with 3 losses (including a 14 point loss to 5-7 FSU).

If OSU’s 3rd loss is in the B1G championship game, yes they are in.

The whole playoff committee system was created years ago for one reason and one reason only - to keep the B1G relevant.


Is that why the conference has won the last 3 NC’s with 3 teams?

Why should it be any different for OSU than Texas last year


It OSU loses to a 5-7 team that fires their coach and goes to OT with B1G bottom dwellers while going 9-3, they should be left out.

Three loss is a bubble team. Most the SEC has tough schedules. Iowa I see them winning. Barely beat a bad Michigan team. Indiana has avoided competition yet again, so expect them to be popped in the mouth. USC is still not relevant. Oregon is suspect this season. Michigan is a rival game but not a great team.

When was the committee idea formulated and enacted? But, congratulations on being a prisoner of the moment.

Ohio State will not lose three games. None of the teams listed can compete with OSU. That’s a fact. Bookmark this post and read it in December.

OSU will be a top 4 CFP team.

The teams listed as opponents, accept for Michigan, are solid football teams. They won’t get beat by 30-40 points, but they will get beat such that there will be no fourth quarter drama or question about the outcome.

They are that good.

Not sure how you could watch the defense vs Illinois last week and unequivocally say this.

19 points. Okay. I’m not worried about any of their regular season opponents or conference championship.

The semifinal and final national championship games are different. Then we’ll see.

200 yards on the ground and a huge number of busted coverages/chunk plays.

I'm not saying that won't get it figured out, but I could see losses @Indiana, Oregon, @USC, and Michigan as possible.
